And the tennis court was covered up With some tent-like thing
And you asked me to dance But I said, "Dancin' is a dangerous game."
Oh, I thought This is gonna be one of those things
Now I know I'm never gonna love again
I've got some tricks up my sleeve Takes one to know one
You're a cowboy like me
Never wanted love Just a fancy car
Now I'm waiting by the phone Like I'm sitting in an airport bar
** You had some tricks up your sleeve Takes one to know one
You're a cowboy like me
Perched in the dark Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
Like it could be love I could be the way forward
Only if they pay for it You're a bandit like me Eyes full of stars
Hustling for the good life Never thought I'd meet you here It could be love
We could be the way forward And I know I'll pay for it
Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh
You're a cowboy like me Perched in the dark Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
Like it could be love I could be the way forward Only if they pay for it
You're a bandit like me Eyes full of stars Hustling for the good life
Never thought I'd meet you here It could be love
We could be the way forward And I know I'll pay for it
And the skeletons in both our closets Plotted hard to fuck this up
And the old men that I've swindled Really did believe I was the one
And the ladies lunching have their stories about When you passed through town
But that was all before I locked it down
Now you hang from my lips Like the Gardens of Babylon
With your boots beneath my bed Forever is the sweetest con
( ** )
You're a cowboy like me And I'm never gonna love again
I'm never gonna love again I'm never gonna love again
